Explanation

Enabling Data Access audit logs for the Cloud Storage API is the correct solution. Google Cloud's Data Access audit logs record API calls that read or modify data - including GetObject and similar read operations. These logs are written to Cloud Logging and can be exported for compliance and legal audit purposes. Option A (DLP API) scans data content but does not log access requests. Option C (Identity Aware Proxy) controls identity-based access but does not produce access logs. Option D (restricting to one Service Account) limits access but provides no audit trail of who read what or when.
